PJ Fleck has resigned as NIU's president; he feels he is not ready.

RE: Any News/Rumors on NIU President Search?
From what I saw online the search firm is taking applications through the middle of this month. Presumably the firm has also been soliciting potential applicants personally as well.

If this goes like the Peters search I think the identified publicly a pool of semi finalists and had the finalists in for forums with various groups. The forums then were at least somewhat open. I went to the student forums. They were all impressive in different ways, but Peters really shined as a guy who had vision.

In all reality, if Eddie Williams was running the Sahara Desert it would be out of sand in 3 months.

Are you being sarcastic?

If you are, I hate to disappoint you but the real rumors going around campus is that he's already out, as in he's already cleaned out his office in whatever settlement / buyout / cover-up that was negotiated. Reportedly he has a house in Florida and the board will assure candidates for the president vacancy they will not be saddled with him.

could someone list the 5 worst Eddie Williams decisions/moves that make him so reviled on here? I wouldn't know him if I saw him and never heard of him except on this board.

He looks like he could be Sammy Sosa's older brother. With that same $hit eating grin.



LOL...look at this from NS

Here's one: he hired both of his kids, and his daughters salary increased from something like 50K to over 100k in a period where there was wage freezes and cuts going on. In some years she was the only one getting increases, guess who controls that? yep daddy....

How about all the property he owns in DeKalb and Chicago? There was was a thread on this with links last year. He used his NIU office as the business address! With his kids on the payroll, it will never go away.

Yes, Cybes was being sarcastic.

I already posted my one direct experience with him in his office years ago with a freedom of info request I submitted.

There were rumors his office was cleaned out, but he was right back at work after that. He was at the Orange Bowl. If he is still employed by NIU I wouldn't doubt that he can snake his way into the top spot. Don't say no until he is gone.
